So things have been going pretty well on the exercise and food choice front...but today has been a little bumpy...I am having thoughts of foods that I have chosen not to partake in while I am on this journey and everyone says...it is just a simple solution of Mind over Matter....and even though I love some of the people that have been so sweet to give their advice on this...well Love ya but have to disagree with you over this general concept of Mind over Matter.
I think it is kind of funny that people would choose the words like Mind over Matter in the first place...because it is my Mind I am needing to conquer not the Matter.....in fact my Mind is so fighting with me...it wants to go back to its old thought patterns...it wants to go back to what is comfortable...the road that is easier..the path it knows...you get the point. I mean would it not be easier and instant gratification if I just gave in and had that cheese? MMMMM Cheese...yes that would be easier and yes I would get a bit of gratification...but after, what do I get after? I would get.....a massive feeling of guilt....a big chunk of self hatred...a voice in my head saying see I knew you couldn't do it....and then after that I would just get it again and again and again.
So I am thinking instead of this phrase of Mind over Matter...I would like to change that to
Conscious Choice over Settling for Comfort
Isn't it funny ,that what we have become comfortable in isn't always the best choice for us and if we really look at it...it really is not all that comfortable..it's just all we know.
I am choosing not to eat the cheese because after I thought about it...I am not settling for anything anymore.
Love ya
Meg
